Andrea Maack At Les Senteurs + Full Jasmine Awards Shortlists

The official site of the Jasmine Awards now displays the full rundown of all the nominees in each of the categories. I was very pleased to see a certain Tania Sanchez named under 'Literary Award - Magazines' for a piece published in Psychologies. Who knows, perhaps she'll be at Wednesday's ceremony?

Changing the subject, UK-based readers may be interested to learn that the Icelandic artist Andrea Maack will be at Les Senteurs at 6:30 on Thursday 17th Feb to talk about her three perfumes, Sharp, Craft and Smart. I've got samples of each of the scents right under my nose as I type these words. I really must smell them soon.

I was just thinking today that I need to give Bulgari Black another try, it's been many years since I've worn it. Perhaps in the meantime, a sample of Smart will do nicely. I'm actually very interested in Bulgari's Jasmin Noir, I was able to try a scent strip, and it reminds me of Estee Lauder Sensuous Noir, but more focus on the flower and a bit less on the woods.

Carrie, I'm not overly familiar with Jasmin Noir. And as for Black, I have to say, I don't consider it to be the Holy Grail that many seem to, but it's definitely more interesting and more complex than Smart.

Thanks very much for reading my site and taking the time to leave a comment.
